I’m not always a good friend. Sometimes I don’t reach out enough because I’m worried I’m bothering people who don’t really want to hear from me anyway. And I can convince myself that people don’t always want me as a friend. If I’ve ever done that to you, I apologize.

"In the case of Stop! That! Train!, you can also go to your local drag show and tip your queens. Put your valuation of human-made art into action. Give a dollar (or better yet, $20 or $50!) to a real queer person making real queer art."

Does knowing something was made using AI—even just a little bit—stop you from wanting to engage with it? Now that we know "Stop! That! Train!" did in fact use AI, how do we navigate a world where stuff like this is going to keep happening? New from me ✨ xtramagazine.com/culture/stop...

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

#widowsbay is really fun. You should check it out if you enjoy horror comedy and general eerie weird vibes if you have access to an Apple+ account. My friend Kyle Fines described it as “Twilight Zone” meets “The Chair Company” and he 100% nailed it.

Hey, Vancouver! There's a protest against those friggin data centers on saturday! I cannot make it due to a prior engagement doing a different kind of worker solidarity, but I encourage you to check it out! Lots of good people will be there.

Pink poster from @no.ai.vancouver on Instagram. It says:
"Say NO to AI DATA CENTERS in VANCOUVER.
PROTEST MARCH.
MAY 23rd at 1PM
STARTING AT WATERFRONT STATION"

Back in 2021, while we were all still working from home, I started noodling around on this idea for a cartoon series pitch called “Theodore von Barnyard”. It was about a young Sasquatch who, after breaking in to a cabin in the woods and watching waaaay too many DVDs…
